Katykhin Shoves the First Hand
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mikhail Katykhin joined the field at the start of Day 2 and just found himself moving all in on the first hand he saw.
Katykhin was one of three players involved in a pot that already had 40,000 in the middle heading to the 
flop. Katykin, in middle position, bet 25,000 and only Elena Yasyuchenya called from the cutoff.
The turn came the 
and Katykin slid the rest of his stack forward, a bet of around 60,000. Vasyuchenya tanked for around two minutes as she counted out the rest of her stack before deciding to slide her cards into the muck.
